The experience of working here: diversity, inclusiveness, rewards

Talk to anyone at Ernst & Young and they’ll tell you it’s a rewarding place to work in so many ways.

Read below and use the tabs to find out why.

Diversity

We attract high-performing individuals from different backgrounds and cultures who – like you – bring a unique point of view, which in turn helps you develop as an individual, achieve your potential and make a difference.

Inclusiveness

Our inclusive work environment means that everyone’s opinion is listened to and valued. You’ll learn about our shared values, how to work in teams effectively, how to work with individuals who are different from you, and how to bring out the best in yourself and others.

Support and reward.

We’re committed to giving you the right experiences, learning and coaching to help you become an effective professional. You’ll be encouraged to take ownership of your career goals and make the most of what’s on offer. And of course you will be rewarded and recognized for your performance.

Getting everybody involved

You’ll find that Ernst & Young is a place where respect, integrity and teamwork define the way we work.

You’ll be encouraged to think in global terms, build strong relationships and embrace diversity in all its forms.

By valuing the differences in those you work alongside you’ll find that you improve your perspective, benefit from diversity of thought and, ultimately, provide better answers for your clients and communities.

Helping you go further

At EY, you’ll be given the experiences, training and coaching you need to achieve your potential.

You’ll be inspired to achieve your aims, both professionally and personally, while making a difference to our clients and in our communities.

We’ll work together to ensure your career takes you in a direction where you’ll be able to reach your goals.

Putting you at the heart of what we do

By being a part of Ernst & Young you will have the satisfaction of feeling part of something big. You will feel like you are making a genuine difference to clients, communities and the world in general.

Our commitment to engaging you in what we do will add to your enthusiasm for your work, your colleagues and our organization. We also want you to feel confident that you have the support you need to achieve your professional and personal aspirations.

From our Corporate Responsibility work to our Alumni network, we give you the chance to be more involved with local communities and your peers.

We’ll listen to you and engage in open and authentic dialogue at all levels of our organization.

We believe that people perform best in organizations to which they feel truly connected and empowered to make their own choices. Ernst & Young has earned a reputation for having a culture that enables people to meet both their personal and professional goals. More than work/life balance, our efforts to create a supportive culture have grown to focus on workplace flexibility: helping our people navigate where, when, and how their work gets done.

To support and motivate you to continue achieving your potential your performance will be rewarded and recognized.

We can make a difference – and we do

There is a wide range of opportunities for you to increase your sense of belonging at EY. Corporate Responsibility provides the chance to give something back to the local and wider community, while our Alumni network provides you with networking opportunities among your peers.

Corporate responsibility at EY

At EY you’ll have many opportunities to make a difference.

First, you’ll join an organization that takes community leadership seriously; our support for the United Nations Global Compact and Transparency International are just two examples.

Second, you’ll find many opportunities to volunteer in our three focus areas – entrepreneurship, education and environmental sustainability – in a way that connects your unique skills and capabilities, which enables you to have a far greater personal impact.

Volunteering your skills and time to make a difference to communities is an important part of our career development framework. Through community engagement you’ll have the opportunity to develop in new and different contexts. This may involve improving your public speaking or sharpening your ability to negotiate and collaborate with people from a variety of backgrounds and countries.

EY Alumni

When you join EY, you do more than launch a career.

You may spend your entire career with us or you may seek new challenges elsewhere at some point. Regardless, we believe you’ll want to stay connected with your EY colleagues, as these relationships will prove invaluable throughout your career.

As an EY Alumnus, you’ll be offered many opportunities to network with your peers. So whatever direction you choose to take your career, you’ll benefit from your time with us. And if you do leave to explore other opportunities, we hope you’ll become one of the many people who rejoin, bringing valuable experience and perspectives that enrich our organization.
